North Zone:

South Zone
Oct. 13 - 14
Ohio River Zone:
Oct. 20 - 21
Youth waterfowl hunters must be 15 years of age or younger and properly licensed to participate. Youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age. An adult may accompany more than one youth. The accompanying adult may not hunt waterfowl that day (except snow geese, brant and white-fronted geese where season is open).
If the accompanying adult does not intend to hunt and does not posses a firearm, the adult does not need to be licensed. Bag and species limits are the same as those allowed in the regular season.
Waterfowl hunters must register with the Harvest Information Program (HIP). Hunters can register by visiting the DNR Web site at
www.wildlife.IN.gov (click on "HIP registration"), or register by calling (866) 671-4499.
